Hate \Hate\, v. t. [imp. & p. p. {Hated}; p. pr. & pr. & vb. n.
   {Hating}.] [OE. haten, hatien, AS. hatian; akin to OS. hatan,
   hat?n to be hostile to, D. haten to hate, OHG. hazz?n,
   hazz?n, G. hassen, Icel. & Sw. hata, Dan. hade, Goth. hatan,
   hatian. ???. Cf. {Hate}, n., {Heinous}.]
   1. To have a great aversion to, with a strong desire that
      evil should befall the person toward whom the feeling is
      directed; to dislike intensely; to detest; as, to hate
      one's enemies; to hate hypocrisy.

            Whosoever hateth his brother is a murderer. --1 John
                                                  iii. 15.

   2. To be very unwilling; followed by an infinitive, or a
      substantive clause with that; as, to hate to get into
      debt; to hate that anything should be wasted.

            I hate that he should linger here.    --Tennyson.

   3. (Script.) To love less, relatively. --Luke xiv. 26.

   Syn: To {Hate}, {Abhor}, {Detest}, {Abominate}, {Loathe}.

   Usage: Hate is the generic word, and implies that one is
          inflamed with extreme dislike. We abhor what is deeply
          repugnant to our sensibilities or feelings. We detest
          what contradicts so utterly our principles and moral
          sentiments that we feel bound to lift up our voice
          against it. What we abominate does equal violence to
          our moral and religious sentiments. What we loathe is
          offensive to our own nature, and excites unmingled
          disgust. Our Savior is said to have hated the deeds of
          the Nicolaitanes; his language shows that he loathed
          the lukewarmness of the Laodiceans; he detested the
          hypocrisy of the scribes and Pharisees; he abhorred
          the suggestions of the tempter in the wilderness.

Hate \Hate\, n. [OE. hate, hete, AS. hete; akin to D. haat, G.
   hass, Icel. hatr, SW. hat, Dan. had, Goth. hatis. Cf. {Hate},
   v.]
   Strong aversion coupled with desire that evil should befall
   the person toward whom the feeling is directed; as exercised
   toward things, intense dislike; hatred; detestation; --
   opposed to love.

         For in a wink the false love turns to hate. --Tennyson.
